White Meat or Dark Meat

[Trekker4747]

The question of the day.

Many people are big fans of the white meat (breast) but, I dunno. I've always prefered the dark meat. (Legs/Thighs.)

cant beat a good bit of breast I say not too keen on legs

White Meat or Dark Meat?

 

[Tora Ziyal]

Dark. But since I'm mostly vegetarian, it's usually neither.

For the longest time, I stayed away from chicken thighs because I felt they were too greasy--and they can be, depending on how they're done--but recently, I've become something of a fan of them.

As far turkey, though, I'm sticking to white meat only (but then I've never been a fan of turkey to begin with).


And would it be so terribly wrong to admit that when I first read the thread title, the naughty thought of "what kind of sex partner" came to mind?

It will be a crappy thanksgiving if I don't have a Leg. It's the most awesome part of the Turkey in my opinion. Then for leftovers you can have the white meat for Sandwiches.

Ah, the Holiday Season is truly here.

All my favourite hackneyed puns can emerge from hibernation:

"do you like white or dark meat?"
"are you a breast or leg man?"
"do you want stuffing, darling?"

I leave you to come up with more...

I've always been a leg man, myself.

Totally dark meat when it's by itself, white meat with gravy or in sandwiches. I enjoy them both.

 

[T'Baio]

Dark. But since I'm mostly vegetarian...

So...you're not, actually, at all, then.

 

[ShamelessMcBundy]

I know this won't come as a shock to any of you, but i like all kinds of meat.

Turkey is turkey. Long as it's properly cooked I could really care less what part of the bird it comes from. It's all delish!

What I'm wondering is, is a yam the same thing as a sweet potato, and also is "stuffing" only supposed to be called that when it's inside the bird? I always used to think my grandmother was being old fashioned when she called it "dressing" (which I never use, BTW, I equate the word 'dressing' with salad).

 

[Gaseous Anomaly]

A little white and a little dark; it's all good with a bit of gravy on it.

 

[Locutus of Bored]

Dark meat by itself or in leftover turkey sandwiches, white meat smothered in gravy and mashed potatoes.

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

I don't much care for turkey in a sandwich - that's another "bready" question (although not even slightly curranty). If I am going to eat leftover turkey, it will be heated and NOT in a sandwich. With spare gravy. I will stretch that Thanksgiving dinner for as long as it will take...

Picky, picky. "But since I very rarely eat meat..." Like that better?

 

[Aurian]

I like both, but I think the white meat looks tastier.

Different species entirely. Both taste good though, so I'm not quibbling.

and also is "stuffing" only supposed to be called that when it's inside the bird? I always used to think my grandmother was being old fashioned when she called it "dressing"

I don't know. I still call it stuffing, but there probably is a more appropriate name for it if it's cooked separately.

White meat. I don't like dark meat with turkey or chicken.
